Catherine Annis is well known for her imaginative and practical approach to yoga. Originally a professional dancer, she discovered yoga as a teenager, and has been practicing for more than 30 years.
Having explored Sivananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga and various forms of Hatha yoga, she eventually gravitated to the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.
Catherine’s daily yoga practice and teaching focuses on deepening physical awareness and alignment to reveal and release the natural freedom of the body, particularly the spine. She holds a Masters degree in ballet studies and is a qualified Thai massage practitioner, and it is this interest in the body which informs and inspires her teaching.
Since 1999, Darlene has experienced many teachings styles that have allowed her rhythmic Yoga style to bloom! Her teaching style and personal practice are based on listening and being guided from within. She teaches a playful and fluid approach to Yoga, emphasizing ease, gravity, lightness, and freedom. Exploration, creativity, and mindfulness are also a part of her approach. She believes that a Yoga practice can open your heart allowing your authentic nature to surface, thus allowing you to “Live Your Yoga.”
Two of Darlene’s main influences are Vanda Scaravelli and Erich Schiffmann. When Darlene lived in the Dallas area she fell in love with the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli. Coming from an Iyengar and Ashtanga background, Darlene found the freedom of this approach refreshing.
Darlene is passionate about learning and the study of Yoga. She enjoys being a student as much as she enjoys being a Teacher. Darlene shares her creative approach to Yoga in instructional videos, in classes, and in workshops in Columbus, GA, nationally, and internationally.
Carol believes she was born to teach and that her calling is to pass on knowledge and wisdom that can bring peace and happiness to others. She first began studying Yoga in 1973 and started teaching yoga classes in 1979 at the request of several friends and colleagues, who wanted to explore what Yoga was all about.
She brings to her students the best of what she continues to learn from many teachers and a variety of yoga and meditation traditions. Especially significant contributions come from the following, the best of the best: internationally recognized yoga teachers Donna Farhi, Irene Beer, Rossella Baroncini, and Vanda Scaravelli.
The venue for the workshops will be at NTC Health and Fitness.
